school pupils decorate tree to illustrate the beauty of poetry

Poetry
students at a Highbridge school have decorated this tree during
a project to illustrate the beauty of poetry.

Year
8 students at King Alfred School decorated the trees with colourful
rbibons and poems.

Each
tutor group chose a theme for 'the Poetree', choosing topics such
as under the sea, Olympics and Paralympics, animals, Disney, space
and more.

Each
tutor group then set about writing their poems based on their
theme, and the tutor group judged to have the best selection of
poems will get a prize at their end of year assembly.

"The
King Alfred School did this to highlight just how beautiful poetry
it can be," said Miss D Booth, Literacy Co-ordinator.

"The
activity was designed to spread a love and enjoyment for poetry.
It has certainly done its job: many of The King Alfred School's
staff and students have stopped to read the poems and have commented
on how beautiful the tree looks."

"Students
from other year groups have even asked if they can write a poem
and attach it to the tree."
